Chapter 4161
Serenity was still on the stairs when she called out to her nephew downstairs, “Sonny, your mom’s on the phone!”
Sonny was engrossed in a chess match with Liam, fully focused on the game. While his skills didn’t quite match Grandpa York’s, Grandpa York occasionally allowed him to win a few moves. Most of the time, however, Sonny ended up losing.
Nevertheless, he never gave up.
Liam noticed that after each defeat, Sonny adjusted his strategy, learned from his mistakes, and refined his approach.
The kid was adaptable.
Very smart.
Liam thought that was why the entire family cherished Sonny—he was intelligent, eager to learn, and remarkably well-behaved.
With Serenity about to give birth, Liam couldn’t help but wonder—if his eldest grandson, Zachary’s baby, turned out to be as lovable as Sonny, he wouldn’t mind having even more grandchildren.
Sonny finally said, “Grandpa York, let’s pause the game. I’ll be back after I talk to Mom.”
Liam chuckled. “Sonny, it’s almost bedtime. You have kindergarten tomorrow. Let’s continue tomorrow evening—I promise I won’t touch the chessboard. We’ll pick up right where we left off when you get home from school.”
Sonny had no objections. He jumped up excitedly and ran over to Serenity.
Taking the phone from her, he beamed when he saw his mother’s face on the screen.
“Mom! You’re off work early today?”
Liberty smiled. “I’m in the car. Now, do you think I’m on my way to meet clients or heading home?”
Sonny’s eyes lit up. “Mom, have you moved into the new house yet? Is it really big? Bigger than our place now? Is it as big as Uncle Zachary’s house? When are you coming back to take me there? I can’t wait to see it!”
He fired off questions like a machine gun, barely pausing to

“Breathe.” Before Liberty could respond, he continued, “Where’s Uncle Duncan? Is he afraid to see me? He always sneaks off to be with you and never waits for my school holidays to take me along. I know what’s going on—Uncle Duncan thinks I’m a third wheel! He just wants to be with you, so he doesn’t bring me.”

Sitting next to Liberty, Duncan began to sweat nervously. Leaning closer so Sonny could see him, he quickly explained, “Sonny, I don’t think you’re a third wheel—I never have! I came to Jensburg for work. I had business here, so I just happened to visit your mom while I was at it. You’re still in school, and with only weekends off, it wasn’t convenient to bring you this time. But when the May Day holiday comes, I’ll come back to pick you up. We’ll spend the holiday together with your mom.”

Sonny pouted. “But during the May Day holiday, Aunt Serenity’s having her baby! Mom said she’s coming back to be with her. What am I supposed to do?”

Even though Sonny was young, he listened closely to what the adults said. Everyone kept mentioning that his aunt was due in two months, and May Day was exactly two months away. His mom had promised to be with Aunt Serenity when the baby arrived. Sonny wanted to be there too—after all, he was going to be a big brother. He had been talking to the baby in Aunt Serenity’s belly every day, and when the baby was finally born, he wanted to be the first to hold him.

Zachary, however, had other thoughts. “Absolutely not. Step aside, kid. I’m the father—I should be the first to hold my baby.” The newborn would be so tiny and fragile—Zachary wouldn’t dare let Sonny hold him first; after all, the little guy was still just a child himself.
